Every Man a Cyber Crook
Mark Rasch, 2002-01-07

Federal anti-hacking law permits cybercrime victims to sue their attackers. So why is that software companies, webmasters and computer makers are the ones being hauled into court?

Since when is the complaints of an ex-employee commercial speech?

I would have thought that for instance the e-mailed complaints of an ex tobacco co. employee would be an excellent example of a situation analogous to intel's.

Surely this hypothetical ex-worker who is trying to broadcast his worries about unethical behaviour in his last company (Enron anyone?) should not lose his protection merely by placing his communication in an email and sending it?

Mark Rasch's point is well made.
